[WRC] Croatia Rally 2023

Only the promoter has rights to publish video clips of a moving rally car on stage. In this case, they are using it just to remove bad publicity. It's obvious they don't go around deleting all rally videos on youtube, although they could.

Is it your guess or has it been written somewhere in black and white? For sure it is forbidden to upload All-Live material but when I go to rallies, I haven't seen any signs that tell me I can't film here or when I buy the ticket then I have to agree somewhere that actually every video I take of a moving rally car, actually belongs to WRC Promoter.

They probably don't have the legal grounds to take amateur footage down. It's just youtube siding with the publishers by default. They count on noone beimg willing to go trough the trouble of taking them to court over it

I think it would depend on whether the event is ticketed or not. In which case it's probably in the standard terms and conditions for entry when purchasing a ticket.

You Tube and Facebook generally don't like videos that show fighting / violence, so I imagine they didn't have to work very hard to get that video taken down.

I think it was in the terms written of Ypres Rally that it was forbidden indeed.

Yeah but as I wrote, they are on every onboard from different cars and different cameras (on POV camera and also FX camera)

Mystery is solved, according to this photo these are probably paper plates sticked on some branches

All WRC web pages have it in the spectator sections now, this is taken from Rally Finland page;

https://sectorallyfinland.fi/en/taking-pictures-videos/


All rally fans are free to take photos on the special stages – in the areas where spectators are allowed – and share their photos in for example social media. However, please respect the privacy of other rally-goers. The safety stewards and other Rally Finland officials have the right to prevent picture taking in certain situations, for example if there is a safety risk involved in taking a photo.

Rights to all moving images are the property of WRC Promoter GmbH. Any video-footage shown outside your own home requires an agreement with the rights holder, who also have the right to request the removal of unauthorised material from any website or other distribution channel.

I highly doubt their claims would stand up legally in many countries where the footage was taken in a public place (definitions of a such will vary by country), at least. They've just copied this from sports that take place in/on private venues and have truly controlled access. I think they're pushing their luck as it is, I doubt they'll go much further with their claiming of footage beyond attempts to erase some of the more ugly incidents from the most public platforms. Not that I agree with their dubious attempts here to control the image of the sport. If there were to be graphic footage of a fatality at a WRC event floating about though, I would be more understanding of their efforts.
